I went shopping today to try and find something I wanted. I must have gone round the fresh food aisles more than 5 times and this is what I came out with.
I have days now and again where I'm just not hungry. I think that is a normal thing and I don't fret about it. My body tells me what it wants when it wants it and I'm fine with that.
Ever wonder if the not feeling like eating is the body not wanting food? Like if you aren’t hungry or don’t feel like eating, why not just not eat? Fasting is a fab way for the body to detox, you’ve also cut down on carbs so actually less likely to feel hungry! Body learns to tap into its own fat for energy
Hey Karen... just a note. Your things look fun but make sure you don't fall into doing that a lot. I am digging out of 2 years of that same thing. (Mine was grief, loss and life change related) I came home from work, sat at the table looking at the wall til I fell asleep. Quit cooking. Ate a bit of snack at most. Expensive! When I got so hungry I'd hit the gas station and get $15 cooked chicken or order pizza. I took to watching your videos. It is like having a friend visiting. I also recently ordered a cookbook that has recipes and household tips that are helping. I am working on clearing/cleaning my house too. Just sharing.
You certainly do not need to eat if you do not feel like eating. Most bodies can use both carbs as fat for fuel! And most of us have plenty of fat on the body that can be used as an energy source when there is not enough being consumed 😅 After menopause I started intermittent fasting and hardly ever eat before noon and stop eating around 6/7 pm.
100%. I also eat this way, I fast until 4pm then eat between 4pm and 8pm each day. If you don't feel like eating, don't eat. It's absolutely not necessary to fill up on anything if the body is saying it doesn't want anything!
When it’s hot and humid here, I don’t much feel like eating. Just keep the fluids up & you’ll be fine. Sometimes our bodies just need a rest from digesting and need to fast. X
Robyn, so agree!!! Here in central Florida, the heat index has risen to 111 many days in a row. I try to stay hydrated and eat yogurt and fruit. Salads as well. Really have no desire for meat or poultry. I'll settle for a small bowl of soup, as well.
@@tinasimms8080 sounds like a plan! Heavy carbs in the heat really weigh my body down. Here at the moment it’s winter & I’m enjoying slow cooked stews & casseroles. And lovely chai to warm my inner being. 💫
I remember a dietician telling me & my husband at an information meeting about diabetes, that it is better to eat several small meals a day, rather than a couple of large ones. So maybe "picky bits' is what your body needs.
Thats not the thinking nowadays because every single time you eat, it causes an insulin spike, i dont think docs or dieticians get much general training on diabetes.shocking really.
These new diets of starvation. Are deadly to the body and the organs. People are so into look at my thin body look at me starving myself down. It's not good it's very unhealthy and they will cause long-term health issues to themselves to their brain to their organs. The body needs to keep several small meals going and not have a dip and sugar and a high in sugar it needs to have the glucose levels regulated your post is correct. It should be several small meals a day and lots of good water :-)
That for diabetics is now outdated. They also advised eating carbs 5x a day. Dr Unwin has done 10+ years of research on diabetics diet. He is the most published GP in the UK. I suggest some online research into low carb diets, now the recommended diet for pre and diagnosed diabetes.
When I don't feel like eating, I default to drinking. Not alcohol! : ) I will make hot chocolate, or get a glass of juice, or make a soup. Sometimes the body just wants water. Sometimes nothing at all. Listen to your body. It's working on something else right now, and if you put food in when it's not asking for it, you take the "workmen" away from the most important job and force them into trash detail.
I’m feeling exactly the same , there is absolutely nothing I fancy to eat at the moment , I think it’s down to this virus I have which I can’t stop coughing , and can’t sleep because of it xxxx
You'll never look back once you've eaten homemade coleslaw. I throw in a small amount of onion too and we have it about three times a week with all kinds of meals (last night with homemade burgers). Sadly, my similar sized white cabbage on Friday was 1,42 euros so nearly twice what you paid but I would buy it even if it was double. Bizarrely (because cabbage is so popular here), Lidl don't sell it so I always have to pop into Continente to get one. Enjoy! :)
I think most adults need to eat 2 X/ day. Your body might be telling you that you need less food in your daily diet. Often we eat merely out of habit and not for lack of nutrition.
Blood sugar level every 4 to 6 hours. Small snacking is great and healthy. And most science shows. When you are eating because you think you're hungry. Most likely the body is dehydrated and you should be drinking something that is not caffeinated or carbonated or sugar-filled. That's the science of it. I've been underweight, overweight, and average weight. I've been here there and everywhere. But I learned the most in my bachelor of science degree in health science in my 50s. When I went back for a bachelor of science degree instead of a liberal arts degree that I had gotten in my twenties. Both of them were nine credit hours three classes short of completion. Also the 15 minute to 30 minute rule. That it takes the brain to take the signals of not being hungry or not being thirsty and change them into resting. Or not requesting something of the body.
For many blood types and body types. Fasting throws a metabolism off horribly. As well as the emotions. It is best to stay focused with protein water veg fruit everything in moderation. Is best. Not starvation not morbid obesity. Not extreme eating or extreme fasting :-)
More animal protein and fat in the diets is more satisfying and may result in eating less often. If you don't fancy anything you see, your body is telling you it's not needed. I cured my diabetes (T2, 10 years) with initially keto low carb and then full carnivore. Often I will get to 6 or 6pm and realise I haven't eaten all day. I keep meaty "picky bits" of cold bacon or meat ir ham, boiled eggs, cheese, or a coffee with a huge dollop of double cream.
